CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The "huge organization" is the place where "little guy" applied for a job, and was granted it while understanding what "at will" employment is.
Now you're engaging in "whatabouts".

You'll be OK. The National Guard has shot unionists before. I'm sure they can be made to do it again.
What a load of horse cobble. Confidence means knowing your labor has value, wherever you work.

If there was a free market in labor, the issue wouldn't arise. But a free market, any free market, requires that both the buyer and the seller have about equal market power. A labor market which is dominated by one or a few large employers at the expense of many individual workers is not a free market. That's what unions are for, to even up the market power.

Yes, that's basically what I said. If they know their labor has value, they can have confidence that it'll be valued elsewhere if not where they are now.

Then when the economy turns in a way that favors the employees and their ability to get whatever unreasonable demands they want, what protects the employer from being driven out of business because their workers want to ambush him with unreasonable demands?

It's always free. People are free to apply for a job, and to leave the job as desired, and the employers are free to hire or not hire, fire or not fire.
